Description

Specific (VetXX) Digestive Support is a food that has been specifically developed for dogs with acute or chronic gastrointestinal problems. This includes acute or chronic gastrointestinal disease with associated diarrhoea, vomiting and/or flatulence, Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, malabsorption, maldigestion or Colitis. The recipe has been specially formulated to be very gentle on the stomach and to support the digestive system and immune system. It contains highly digestible ingredients to aid metabolism and helps your dog gain the maximum intake of nutrients possible. An increased level of electrolytes will help compensate for the losses incurred during vomiting or diarrhoea. Added egg powder contain egg immunoglobulins which aid the digestive tract. The products also contain Psyllium Husk which will help to regulate gastrointestinal tract acitivity and will also protect intestinal mucosa. Additionally, Yucca extract is a well known ingredient that helps to reduce the smell of faeces and gasses.

Vitamin & mineral support - The high content of minerals and fat soluble vitamins compensates for compromised absorption in the patient’s gastrointestinal system. The increased level of electrolytes compensates for increased losses during diarrhoea and vomiting

Immune support - Contains ß-1,3/1,6-glucans from yeast, which can bind to receptors of white blood cells, thereby alerting the immune system and supporting the immune response. The diet contains egg powder rich in immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulins can bind specific bacteria, viruses and protozoa in the intestinal tract. This prevents attachment of pathogens to the intestinal wall, damage to villli and associated diarrhoea. Furthermore, the diet contains mannan-oligo-saccharides (MOS). MOS can bind pathogenic bacteria, thereby preventing them from binding to the intestinal wall. MOS also stimulates the local immunity in the intestinal tract

Intestinal support - Psyllium Husk is a gel-forming soluble fibre, which absorbs several times its weight in liquid, and is known for its beneficial effect on the regulation of the gastrointestinal tract activity and protection of the intestinal mucosa

Odour control - Yucca extract reduces the production of malodorous gasses and the smell of faeces
